In May 1973, Finlay writes Norman Cherry, a jewelry designer in Kelso, to make a brooch using his Schiff (German word for ship) poem composed for the Stuttgart Max Plank project. He offers several designs including Schiff depicted as a reflection in a pool which is ultimately accepted. The two exchange letters on the progress of the work which is completed in Aug 1973. A letter dated Nov 1973 from Finlay to Buchwald, architect of the Stuttgart project, offers the silver brooch for sale. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
